The City Manager of the City of Eugene finds that: A. Eugene Code, 1971 ("EC), Section 2.019 and EC 3.696, authorize the City Manager to adopt administrative rules that add chemicals to, or remove chemicals from, the list of substances required to be reported under Section 54 of the Eugene Charter of 2002 ("Amendment IV") after obtaining advice from the Toxics Board. Pursuant to that authority, the City Manager has established Hazardous Substances Reporting Requirements Administrative Rule R-3.696 by Administrative Order No. 52-00-04-F, with amendments adopted by Administrative Order Nos. 52-13-01-F and 52-17-04-F. B. The Toxics Board has recommended adding chemicals to the list of reportable chemicals so that the City's list will be consistent Federal and State law. C. I concur with the Toxics Board's recommendation and, therefore, on December 6, 2018, I issued Administrative Order No. 52-18-02 directing that Notice of the proposed amendment be given. D. Notice of the proposed amendment was given by making copies of the Notice attached as Exhibit A to Administrative Order 52-18-02 available to the Mayor and City Councilors, to any person who had requested such notice, and by publication of the Notice in the Register Guard Newspaper on December 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15,2018. The Notice provided that comments or objections to the proposed amendments must be submitted within 15 days of the first date of publication of the Notice. E. One comment was received in response to the Notice. A summary of the comment and my response to the comment are set out below: Comment Summary: The submitter indicated that he: happened to see the Notice by chance and could have missed it because it was published for only five days; didn't think many people would see it in time to submit comments; would need a lawyer to explain what it meant; and referred to it as a "backdoor near secret notice" that was a good example of a dictatorship. Response: Notice was given in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Eugene Code. In addition, persons interested in receiving notice of amendments to the list of substances required to be reported under Section 54 of the Charter may request that they be sent Notice of proposed amendments by contacting City of Eugene, Toxics Program, Administrative Order -Page 1 of 2
